Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Legend (ranked 1930 p4p, 2379 weight class) and Jamal Powell (ranked 231 p4p, 286 weight class). Legend kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Thick Of It. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
